Why Calgary’s Hard Water Can Wreck Your Pipes (And What to Do About It)

If you’ve noticed chalky white buildup on your faucets, dry skin, or weird-tasting tap water, Calgary’s hard water might be the culprit. And while it’s safe to drink, it can be rough on your plumbing system.

What Is Hard Water?
Hard water has a high mineral content—mostly calcium and magnesium. Over time, these minerals build up inside pipes, fixtures, and appliances.

Plumbing Problems Hard Water Causes:

• Pipe Clogs & Pressure Drops

• Faster Appliance Wear & Tear

• Spots on Dishes and Glass

• Dry Skin & Hair

• Shorter Water Heater Lifespan

The Solution? A Water Softener
Installing a softener removes those minerals before they enter your home’s system. It’s a simple fix that saves money, improves comfort, and protects your plumbing.
